What happens when you mandate masks at a conference now that most people no longer wear them but medically vulnerable people are still at risk because #CovidIsNotOver? In the case of #PyConUS, the conference sells out.

Why a masking policy? “Many of us and our fellow community members can’t attend without health and safety guidelines in place. We want PyCon US to be an event that everyone feels safe attending,” organizers explained.

Well done @pycon https://fosstodon.org/@pycon/112445571644276379

You know the two major parties are just offering more oligarchy and corporate rule, their social issues are just contrived to court the dumber electorate on the extremes. They aren't there to represent you and they never will until damaged to unrecognisable and needing to be rebuilt.

Vote green, force the other two into earning your vote. Or let them rot.

Greens might go the same way, but much slower. Let's see how it goes.

That fails. I'll approve use of guillotines, ok?

#NZTwits of Wellington, please support Zephyr Cafe, who closed in solidarity with the trans community on Saturday during the TERF conference, who are now getting abused on X and review-bombed by said TERFs.

Retoot for reach!

Good day to you, fellow comrades in the resistance to fascism.

I come to you once more, to ask for your assistance

in defraying the costs of beating Leukemia with a monthly infusion

of baby unicorn tears.

Here's some photos of the fun times I had at chemo. I can accept your generous help via the links below.

Half a million displaced by floods in Brasil. Half. A. Million.

We're going to keep seeing these numbers and we're going to get numb to seeing them, and it'll be the new normal. https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/persistent-brazil-floods-raise-specter-climate-migration-2024-05-13/?taid=6642658ec92493000158bfd7&utm_campaign=trueAnthem:+Trending+Content&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=twitter

Slightly mortifying question: how skillful a cyclist do you have to be to tow a kids trailer on your bike?

Someone has offered to lend us a trailer, and I am still at the absolute beginner stage of learning, but anything that helps us travel with our kid, who is still boycotting travel by car or bus, would be nice.

Have I mentioned lately that we all deserve better?

We're living through an ongoing pandemic, with a panzootic threatening to spill over, fascism on the rise everywhere, well-documented genocides, and everything generally being shittier AND more expensive.

Aren't y'all angry?

A brief run-down of my standard practice for #COVIDcautious hairdresser housecalls etc.

The client and I both take RATs the morning of the appointment. I wear a mask, I recommend the client does too (although can be tricky with sideshaves et al), and ideally we work in a room where there's windows that open for ventilation.

On nice days I've cut hair on people's decks, wind permitting. 😂

I also have my CO2 monitor, and I am considering saving up for another #HEPA filter that I can bring +

Doctor appointment at 2 today, plz hope for some relief from this annoying constant sinusitis, headaches and earaches I've been dealing with. 🙏🏻

I might need antibiotics, or possibly HRT, because yes, perimenopause can present with SINUS ISSUES.

Freakin hormones, why??

Friends, help. Since the start of the panny d, my movie viewing has declined sharply (and will stay that way until IAQ is addressed, long story short).

The few I've seen and enjoyed: EEAAO, SMILE, THE MEG 2, BARBIE, and STRANGE WAY OF LIFE.

Anything amazing that I've missed out on? 📽️

I know things are bleak, but a friend of mine just updated her IG with a picture of her newly received moko kauae, and she looks so proud and happy. Knowing what she's been through, I'm tearing up with joy for her.

There is hope, friends. The haters and the wreckers are loud, but they are scared, and we've only just begun to fight.

Kia māia, kia kaha.

Me, thinking about the music I listened to in my youth, and the bands that stood out as Not My Typical Aesthetic:

So, did every member of The Presidents of the United States of America have #ADHD, or just the main guy? 🤔

It's been disappointing to see so many creatives I admire be absolute moral cowards and genocide apologists about the assault on #Palestine, but gratifying to see the creator of the delightful puzzle video game #BabaIsYou taking a stand.

Same goes for the creator of the BBC cartoon #SarahAndDuck. My son and I are both big fans, and I'm glad I don't have to boycott either of them.

#CeasefireNow

They have done nothing wrong. These institutions are protecting the institutions bombing a nation out of existence. This is unacceptable"
